On This Christmas Day…

Merry Christmas!

Can you believe it’s Christmas Day already? Though I feel I was way more prepared for it this year than I have been in the past! Yesterday we were at Dan’s parent’s house to open gifts (pics to come) and at night we went to their church for their Christmas Eve candlelight service. I always love it because there is something about standing in a circle around the church sanctuary, singing “Silent Night!” Can you imagine what Mary and Joseph were feeling when Jesus was born? That Mary had just given birth to the Savior of the WORLD? That just puts me in awe to think about.

Today Dan and I headed up to my parents for a family get together with the Bussis side. Always good times and filled with laughter! That is one thing I love most about Christmas – the gatherings! Gatherings that celebrate what Christ has given us and gatherings that remind us WHY we celebrate. Though our hearts are extremely heavy today because some of our best friends have to spend it in the hospital going through SUCH a tough situation. Once again, I am reminded that God is FAITHFUL in ALL He does; He knows best, even when we don’t have a clue what the reasoning is. He NEVER leaves nor forsakes us – and that is what I cling to for our dear friends.

Tonight…and I can’t wait…we get to have a game night with all our close friends here in St. Joe! This has been in the workings for awhile, and everyone is able to make it!! It’ll get wild, it’ll get crazy, and it’ll be awesome :). We are blessed to have such loving friends! I’m sure there will be stories!

Hope you ALL have a blessed Christmas and remember why we celebrate this day. Merry Christmas!

Oh, and tomorrow, we get to head up to Borculo for the immediate Geurink Christmas party! Can’t wait!

Around The Home

Back in September, I was uncertain what my health would look like in December, so I decided to get a head start on Christmas shopping and even though I feel pretty good, I’m enjoying the simplicity of Christmas instead of rushing about trying to get things accomplished. We have spent a lot of time at…

This upcoming week sure is going to look a little different now that the Olympics are done! I confess I had the Olympics on All. The. Time. I am quite obsessed and no shame there. I can’t tell you how many times I got choked up and maybe even had a few tears because of…

2 Months Old Today!

Mazy turned 2 months old today! Here is the comparison of her at 1 month and now 2 months! Those legs are just getting longer and longer! Love the little leg rolls she is getting! This face just makes me laugh! Oh Mazy…

That One Time

Think about that one time. That one time your baby fell asleep in your arms. (This blog post is being written with my daughter fast asleep in my arms, as I grasp the memory of this moment). That one time she may have spit up all over your clothes, but you didn’t have time to…

Around the Home

There is just something about summer that offers this whole new outlook on life, along with new experiences. This summer has been so different for me personally because I haven’t felt this good in such a long time. Heat and humidity, I’ll admit, aren’t my friend, but I have been able to do everything my…

It has been a CRAZY weekend, which I can’t WAIT to share more about in the next few days! I’ll give you a hint…it has to do with finding a place to live, but until then… Here’s a glimpse at our week in picture: One wonderful thing about having a sister who had all girls…
